We work with HR managers, operations leaders, and facilities teams across San Diego’s defense, biotech, technology, and professional services industries to reduce musculoskeletal risk and protect employee health before injury claims begin to climb.
The Gap in Most Ergonomics Programs in San Diego
Most companies try to fix office health by handing out checklists.
This method fails because workers cannot accurately judge their own posture. They have used the same bad setups for years, so they do not know what a good position feels like. Small mistakes get ignored, causing pain to build up over time.
Our program fixes this by sending real doctors to San Diego offices. A doctor with chiropractic training sits with each worker, watches them move, and fixes their desk on the spot.
San Diego employers can keep their whole team safe from pain by using our Workplace Ergonomics Program.

Who Needs This Service in San Diego
San Diego has a large and varied office workforce. Defense contractors in Kearny Mesa and Sorrento Valley, biotech firms in Torrey Pines and UTC, technology companies in downtown and Mission Valley, and professional services organizations across the county all share a common challenge: desk-based employees working in setups that were never reviewed by a clinician.
Many San Diego companies have also grown fast. New offices were built out quickly. Employees were assigned desks and left to figure out the rest. In hybrid environments, that problem multiplies. An employee might use three different workstations across the week, none of which were designed for their body or their specific role.
This service is for HR directors, people operations managers, EHS coordinators, and facilities leads who are either managing complaints already or trying to stop them before they turn into formal claims and absences.
This service is the right fit for organizations where:
- Desk-based employees are reporting pain or fatigue that does not have an obvious cause
- Rapid growth means workstations were set up without clinical input or a formal review process
- Hybrid arrangements have employees using different setups throughout the week with no consistent ergonomic standard
- High-concentration roles involve extended periods of screen time without built-in movement
- Workers’ compensation exposure is increasing and the root cause has not been pinpointed
- Leadership wants a documented, proactive workplace health program to support HR and risk management records

What Our Clinicians Typically Find in San Diego Offices
San Diego’s newer office buildings often have modern furniture. The injuries that come from desk work are not dramatic. They accumulate. A degree of forward head tilt sustained for six hours a day. A keyboard placed two inches too far from the body. A mouse used with the wrist slightly raised over thousands of repetitions. These patterns add up into MSK conditions that take months to present and longer to resolve.
What we commonly find and fix during San Diego assessments:
- Head and neck position pushed forward by monitor height or depth, loading the cervical spine through the full working day
- Chair back angle and lumbar support set incorrectly for the employee’s height and sitting habits, shifting compression onto the lower spine
- Upper arm and wrist alignment during keyboard use that generates ongoing tension across the shoulder, elbow, and forearm
- Employees using laptop-only setups for full working days, keeping the neck in a flexed position with no external display to raise the eye line
How We Deliver Assessments Across San Diego
We take care of everything from scheduling through to delivery. Your team does not need to prepare anything in advance.
What the process looks like:
- You share your headcount, office location within San Diego or surrounding areas, and any complaints or injury patterns you are already tracking
- We recommend the right format. The Ergonomics Experience Day is a 1.5-hour onsite session priced at $1,500, built for teams that want a high-impact introduction. Individual assessments run 20 to 25 minutes per employee at $300 onsite or $225 virtually. Chair massage can be added to the Experience Day at $450 per therapist. Both formats can be combined
- We arrive at your San Diego workplace or connect virtually with remote employees and conduct individual clinician-led sessions
- Each employee receives real-time workstation corrections and a written post-session summary they can refer back to
- You receive an optional aggregate findings report with observations across the team and prioritized next steps
For organizations ready to go further, the Corporate MSK Risk Reduction Program extends the assessment into a structured two-day engagement. Day 1 covers ergonomic evaluation and risk scoring for each employee. Day 2 delivers targeted chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, and movement coaching based directly on what was found on Day 1.

What San Diego Employers See After Assessments
The value of a clinician-led ergonomic assessment is not just in the session itself. It is in what stops happening after it. Fewer complaints. Fewer absences. Fewer claims that could have been prevented if someone had checked the workstation sooner.
Outcomes San Diego employers commonly report:
- A reduction in MSK-related sick leave and short-term absences in the months following assessment
- Lower workers’ compensation filing rates tied to desk-based and repetitive strain injuries
- Higher employee satisfaction and trust in the organization, driven by visible investment in physical health
- A consistent ergonomic standard applied across office, remote, and hybrid workers regardless of location
- Written documentation that supports HR reporting, EHS records, and external compliance requirements
- Clearer visibility into which teams or roles carry the highest physical risk, allowing prevention resources to be directed where they matter most
Our clinicians bring musculoskeletal expertise that goes well beyond what a general wellness provider or safety officer can offer. That clinical precision is what turns a workstation correction into something employees maintain rather than quietly reverse.
Turning a Single Assessment Into Long-Term Protection
One assessment addresses the workstation risks we find on the day. For San Diego employers managing a larger workforce or recurring MSK costs, the goal is to keep that risk from growing back.
The Corporate MSK Risk Reduction Program extends the clinical relationship beyond the initial visit with ongoing onsite treatment, movement coaching, and injury prevention tracking built around what was found during assessment. Organizations in shared or multi-tenant commercial spaces can also bring ergonomic care to a wider audience through tenant wellness programs or conference wellness lounge activations.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have an EHS team already. How does this service work alongside them?
Our clinicians focus on individual musculoskeletal risk at the workstation level, which a standard safety audit does not cover. Many EHS teams use our findings to strengthen documentation and close gaps their reviews would otherwise miss.
How does pricing work for a San Diego team with both office and remote employees?
Individual onsite assessments are $300 per employee and virtual sessions are $225. The Ergonomics Experience Day is $1,500 for 1.5 hours onsite. Chair massage adds $450 per therapist. Onsite and virtual formats can be combined in one program.
San Diego has many defense and biotech employers with specialized setups. Can you assess those environments?
Yes. Our assessments are built around each employee’s actual role and workstation, not a generic office template. Specialized setups including lab-adjacent desks, shared hot-desks, and technical workstations are all within scope.
What if an employee already has a pre-existing injury or chronic condition?
We account for existing conditions during the assessment. If a condition needs more than ergonomic correction, the Corporate MSK Risk Reduction Program provides onsite chiropractic care and soft tissue treatment as a direct follow-on step.
How quickly can assessments be scheduled for our San Diego office?
We manage all scheduling and can confirm availability shortly after an initial inquiry. Book a call first so we can understand your team size, location, and goals and recommend the right format before confirming dates.
Can this support a larger company-wide injury prevention initiative?
Yes. Assessment findings show where the highest physical risk sits across your organization. The Corporate MSK Risk Reduction Program is the natural next step for companies that want ongoing clinical support beyond a single visit.
